The Crafty Genealogist

Your one stop genealogy shop, from research to tree display! Do you need help with your genealogy research? Would you like to find out about your ancestors’ lives but have no time to do the research yourself? I am here to help you with your genealogy research and offering look ups in local archives in the Surrey, Sussex, Kent and London areas and more! Would you like to turn your research into a unique family tree display that will become a family heirloom? Are you looking for a unique gift to celebrate a special occasion? Do you want to buy a unique gift for the genealogist in your family? How about a unique family tree display…? I can turn your family tree into a unique family heirloom gift to celebrate: • the arrival of a baby • a Christening • a wedding • wedding anniversaries • special birthdays • and more… How? By embroidering your ancestors' surnames onto aprons, bags, cushion covers and table runners or printing your family tree onto shopping bags, table mats and mouse mats etc. Imagine sitting down for a meal to celebrate a family occasion using table mats showing your family tree!… I can research and create a uniquely displayed family tree or just create the family tree if you have already undertaken the research. I also offer 1-2-1 online tuition (using Microsoft Teams) to help you get started researching your own family tree. I have four different workshops lasting about 1.5 hours and covering topics such as birth, marriage and death certificates, censuses, online databases, useful websites, how to draw a pedigree, research techniques, parish registers, military records and newspaper archives. For video snippets from these workshops please go to my website. Contact me for a free 30-minute consultation to assess the work involved.

What do you love most about your job?

Researching client's family trees and telling them things that they never knew about their ancestors. I also love crafting and creating the heirlooms for people. I have made table runners for peoples special birthdays and have sent a set of 16 family tree table mats over to a family in Australia for their Christmas dinner!

What inspired you to start your own business?

I started The Crafty Genealogist during the summer of 2018. Previously I worked for a charity called Young Enterprise which enables young people to run a real business for an academic year. Whilst running the Company Programme for these young people I kept thinking that I would like to have a go at running my own business. The more I thought about it the more I became determined to challenge myself and give it a go.

Why should our clients choose you?

Researching my own family tree has given me a greater sense of belonging and well-being. I would like to help others feel the same. I am currently helping a family member find their relatives using DNA. I am very aware that she has so many unanswered questions about her heritage and I am hoping that by finding the answers she craves it will bring her peace of mind. Again, I would like to be able to help others achieve this.

To ensure the equality of your finished research I adhere to the Society of Genealogist’s “Standards and Good Practice” and the Association of Genealogists & Researchers in Archive’s “Codes of Practice”. I also follow the Board for Certification of Genealogists’ “Genealogical Proof Standard.”

n the 1990s I worked in a military museum and assisted in the archives creating a new labelling system and looking after the objects in store and on display. I gained a Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies from the University of Leicester in 1999. The work experience and qualification gave me an insight into document preservation and conservation. It also kicked started my love of history.

I started researching my own family tree in 2009. The focus until 2016 was collecting oral histories and scanning photographs from relatives. Since 2016 I have spent more time on researching the tree and have traced one line back to 1780s using civil registration, census records, parish registers and military records. I have visited and used records at regimental museums, local archives and The National Archives. I have recently started using DNA and have found a family member’s maternal Canadian grandfather and her half-brother’s Norwegian father.”
